Yaaaay! My partner and I don’t NEED to, but we’re gonna finally upgrade our six year old iPhones! I just want USB-C, a 120hz screen, and a Terabyte. My partner is on 64 gifs and that is NOT enough for the cat pics we take.

It'll be a lot cheaper to back up your cat pics to something that doesn't cost $666/TB...

That’s fair, but I also take pictures I do not want on the internet. I use encrypted local backups, and I want to keep 100k+ photos on my phone (and hard drives)

Edit: I know you deleted your post but that’s literally all of the things I have said

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

So how about a $150 external drive?

Actually, for $150 you could probably make that a 4tb drive

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I have a LOT of hard drives. I just want a ton of storage on my phone as well.

It seems he just wants to argue but I wouldn’t take cloud storage as an option but at most a backup if the device is ever lost or stolen.

Ah yes, anyone you disagree with must "just want to argue"...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Bruh, you’re the one to delete your post.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ok so deleting my posts means I want to argue? This is the logic you're going with?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Aren’t you arguing right now? (.❛ᴗ❛ )

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And what is it that you think you're doing, exactly?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Isn’t this something others should be asking?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Also c’mon dude it doesn’t cost me 50USD per TB for an external, what are you even on about?!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Dude I didnt say it did. Whatre YOU on about?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You know your deletes are public? Right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Then you know I didn't say it there either...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I am on iPhone X but changed the battery this year instead and will see how it goes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hell yeah! I’d look into alternative but

  1. We use nothing google

  2. We both have Linux machines and windows machines and don’t wanna fuck with phone software

  3. We have been told many things and never have a convincing reason why one and two would mean we shouldn’t have iPhones

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

To be clear, I am on macOS as well along with PC that has both Windows and Pop!_OS for Linux. I follow industry news and this year is supposed to be a ‘S’ year as we just had Titanium to Tetraprism camera last year. I would prefer to skip the likely first generation hardware developments to support Apple Intelligence that would be quickly outpaced by its successor anyway as I grab the top-most model (Pro-Max-Ultra~) and keep it as long as it’s good.

Not at all saying skipping the iPhone for an Android but if mine can handle COD:Mobile (Game) at High Graphics then you’d just need to clear buildup iOS cache by restoring the device from a backup like iTunes if you’re on PC. Camera upgrades is the one am more interested with for my case which would be 48MP sensor for the Ultrawide this year and 48MP for the Telephoto next year to finally have all three camera on the same megapixel count along with the selfie camera getting a 24MP upgrade as well since the iPhone 6 if am not wrong.
